Good service, crunchy wings. What more can I ask for?…read more This wing zone seems to share an establishment with a fellow restaurant next door, so they're pretty busy. We ordered 3 sets of 10 classic wings. Each set of 10 classic wings comes with 2 flavors, so we ordered a set of 3 to get as many flavors as possible. We ordered HoneyQ, liquid gold, mango fire, Tokyo dragon, and garlic parmesan. We enjoyed most of the flavors, with the exception of garlic parm. Garlic parm is neither garlicky nor cheesy. The family favorite was HoneyQ. For spicy lovers, I recommend mango fire and Tokyo dragon.

I've heard friends from Quezon City rave about Wingstop, a Texas-based fast food chain that…read morespecializes in chicken wings and tenders. A few weeks ago, I discovered that a branch has finally opened in Makati. At the streetside section of Glorietta 2, directly facing Landmark, it's hard to miss the place. What with a conspicuously designed name printed on its glass window and right above the entrance. Finding a seat is also not a problem as the dining area is huge and there are plenty of tables and chairs. I liked Wingstop even before I tasted their food. The reason: Their food choices are few. You'll not be overwhelmed by different options or types of food. Their menu revolves around chicken wings. Since their Makati branch is fairly new, I imagined that customers would take a long time to decide what to order. But it didn't take long for the people ahead of me to finish their transactions at the counter. It could be that everyone had already tried Wingstop and knew what to eat or it could be that 7:00pm is not a good time to eat wings (are you kidding me?). Since I was on my way home, I decided to have my orders in a takeaway bag. I simply wanted to sample their wings so I got a 7-piece order of wings with two flavors - Garlic Parmesan and Louisiana Rub. Both taste great but I liked the Louisiana Rub better because of its sweet and mild spicy flavor.

But, I just go here for the wings :) They have a variety of sauces to choose from depending on how tame or HOT you want your wings to be. Actually, I really don't like my food to be too spicy. BUT, I recommend that you try their Ultimate Wingsanity challenge! You need to sign a waiver before trying it. Yes, it is that HOOOT! I barely survive with their Armageddon Sauce (2-3 levels lower than the Wingsanity). :( Anyways, I did try the challenge with my brother. I had one bite & I was literally crying! My mouth went numb & I couldn't think after that. It was definitely an experience! I can actually tolerate the spiciness of the Rookie! My fave non-spicy sauces are the Honey BBQ and Garlic Parmesan. Their wings are go very well with their dirty rice & blue cheese dip. I also recommend the Triple Mini Burgers, served hot and cheese oozing everywhere. :) Get ready to get your hands dirty, because that's the only way to enjoy these wings!

More often than not, I order their Hand Battered Dirty Chicken Tenders! It's pure awesome that they have options on their menu that you pick from to help you decide what level of spiciness you can handle for your chicken from mild to hot! I like spicy food so I usually order my chicken tenders with the spiciness level called Firehouse Classic with a side of Bleu Cheese as the dip! I always plan to eat something new whenever I enter this restaurant because they have a lot of different kinds of food to choose from, but I always end up ordering their chicken. Soon, I'll make sure to try something I've never had before... Maybe. :)

For those who are not familiar where WingMan is located, it's at The Collective (a commercial space where hipsters unite!) near Grepa Life building in Makati. As the restaurant name suggests, their main offering are... tadah - chicken wings in different flavors! Like any other wings place, they offer it in 1/2 dozen of 1 dozen with one order between 180 - 300. You can also combine different flavors of wings if you decide to get 1 dozen. We tried their Garlic Parmesan and Hickory Barbeque since both of us are not fans of spicy wings. The size of their wings is average, I've had other wings bigger than the one from WingMan though their flavor was pretty impressive. Aside from Chicken Wings, they also have healthy meals such as salads in their menu and also offers a wide selection of burgers. My boyfriend tried their Cowboy Burger, which was their Texas-inspired sandwich with BBQ sauce, bacon and caramelized onions with fries to go with. I got to take a bite out of this burger and found it especially good! I've always been a fan of anything with BBQ on it so I was happy to find that theirs measured up to my BBQ standards. They also have local and imported beers that perfectly complement your chicken wings. They also have cocktails for the ladies. One drawback of this place is that it's quite small (around 40 people can fit in) and parking is a big issue.

Walking in on a Saturday night, I half-expected that familiar college-town hum--a low murmur of conversation, sticky tables, and the faint smell of fried dreams. Instead, the place was eerily quiet, like the party wrapped up long before I got the memo. I went for the classics--half a dozen of their Signature Buffalo Spicy and half a dozen Salted Egg Bone-In Wings, with blue cheese sauce riding shotgun. A side of rice (because it's Manila--of course there's rice) and mashed potatoes that... well, we'll get to those in a second. The beer--a cold Honey Ale from a local craft brewer--was the unsung hero of the night. Finally, someone in Manila brewing something that didn't taste like regret and melted ice. The wings? Definitely not bad. Crispy, juicy--like they actually respected the bird. But if you're going to throw your name in the ring for best wings in town, you need to bring more than just competence. The Salted Egg seasoning--Southeast Asia's current golden child--was a heavy, clumsy affair. It coated every inch of the wing like a thick winter jacket. No chili kick, no garlic bite--just a flat, salty blanket that had me checking my pulse halfway through. The Buffalo sauce, their so-called signature, leaned way too sweet--more candied ketchup than the tangy, spicy, vinegary slap you want from proper Buffalo wings. And then there was the blue cheese sauce--if you could even call it that. The kind of stuff that comes squeezed out of a sad little plastic packet, shelf-stable for the next nuclear winter. You know the one--overly loose, weirdly tangy, with about as much real blue cheese as a 7-Eleven hot dog. A sauce like that isn't just disappointing--it's disrespectful. The mashed potatoes were some kind of crime against carbs. Lumpy, under-seasoned, with a pale, plasticky cheese blanket on top that made me wonder what the poor spuds did to deserve this fate. The rice, surprisingly, became the unsung palate cleanser--cutting through the heaviness and giving the meal at least some rhythm. Service was the kind that leaves you alone--sometimes a little too alone. You had to flag someone down like you were hailing a cab in the rain. Look--Frankie's isn't a bad joint. If you're already three beers deep and need something fried to keep you vertical, they'll do the job. But for an avid wing eater--someone who's chased those little fried miracles across NYC--this was just another forgettable night. And when it comes to wings, forgettable is the worst sin of all.

As juicy as a water soaked Amazon box. The classic Buffalo wings were mediocre at best. Underwhelming flavor and I'm being nice and generous in stating "flavor".

While ordering our 11-pc Batter-Fried Wings, the cashier told us that we had 3 FREE WINGS! Turns out they had a promo where you get free wings. I didn't even know about this promo! So, the promo is, you get FREE WINGS, based on your order: 5 wings - 1 wing free 7 wings - 2 wings free 11 wings - 3 wings free The free wings must be the same type (classic or batter-fried), and can only be one flavor. If you complete all the flavors on the card, you get a P1,000 GC! Promo period is from May 23 - August 31, 2016. Too bad they don't deliver. They do have order pick-up, so next time I can just drive over and pick up my wings, or hang out there first, read a book. Gotta take advantage of the free parking at Circuit Makati while you can! The 11-pc Batter-Fried Wings is P395, but because of the promo, we were actually getting 14 pcs! That's P28/pc. It's a mix of the drumette, and the wingette + tip. We got the Lemon Pepper, Louisiana Rub, Honey Garlic and Teriyaki this time. Then after that, I also had some Wingstop again and tried the Garlic Parmesan and Mild Buffalo. To me, the dry rubs (Lemon Pepper, Louisiana Rub and Garlic Parmesan) are the best flavors I have tried from Wingstop, Garlic Parmesan being the one I liked best, and will probably be the ones I will keep on ordering. I didn't really like the Teriyaki - the molasses and some kind of lime flavor was too strong. I expected the Teriyaki to taste like sweet ginger soy syrup, so the molasses flavor threw me off. As for the Honey Garlic, I expected it to taste like honey and fried garlic, and was disappointed by the addition of the soy sauce component. It was milder, but still similar to the Teriyaki. The Mild Buffalo was just a mild hot sauce coated chicken, no ranch or blue cheese dressing included (must be bought separately). I was expecting a buttery, garlicky, sweet and hot sauced chicken wing. Flavor-wise, I think I like the flavor profile of Frankie's Wings much better. This is not to say that Wingstop's chicken is not good. The chicken wings were crispy and juicy. Unfortunately, I just did not like the sauces I tried, and it's a personal preference. Who knows, you might turn out to like them! Fortunately for me, there are more flavors for me to try. The promo is a big incentive for me to go back and try the other flavors. The restaurant is clean, everything is still new. Air-conditioning is cold, always a plus. They have a sink where customers can wash their hands, but they also provide plastic gloves. The sink was fun, you push the front of the sink with your knee to turn on the faucet.

Frankie's set-up is like the typical wings diner: homey and pleasantly cluttered. I had the garlic parmesan as recommended by the waiter, and the Frankie's Classic Buffalo. As it was the one flavor that took the restaurant's name as its title, the Frankie's classic was definitely the better order of the two. Everything I've been hearing about the place was right; this might be the best Buffalo wings place in the city! The Frankie's classic is a masterpiece, I don't know how many kinds of Buffalo wings I've tried in my life, but this time I think I've found the perfect original no frills wings.

Going further, some places would inevitably prepare the dish better than most. To me, this is Frankie's New York Buffalo Wings. I usually head to Frankie's after a night run. This could get as late as midnight. The place is open until 2 am, and by this time the horrible parking situation at the City Golf Compound would already be more manageable. (Of course, provided it's a not a weekend.) I always get the Classic Buffalo (spicy) with blue cheese dip, and ask for more blue cheese dips. (They charge extra). I like the chicken because of the way the skin has been cooked to a crisp, all the while keeping the meat rather tender; I think it's breaded. The sauce is spicy yet with just the right bite, meaning there is a dimension to the flavor and not just plain crazy-fiery. Like, I can still taste the butter and the vinegar all coming nicely together with the one-two punch of the hot sauce. Oh-yeah! The best part is you don't even have to worry about getting your hands dirty because they give away disposable gloves. To be honest, I don't really use it since I am used to working with utensils in dissecting my chicken, but I just think it's rather thoughtful of them. As my personal motto goes: it's the useless stuff that builds character.
